Rat Fink sculpt

[Bigdad]

I found a picture on line the other day that I really like so I think I'm going to try to do a model of it. It has our finky friend in a deuce with Minnie Mouse and a very unhappy Micky running after them. I will be doing the car and figures in Sculpey. This is the picture, I will post a few progress pics when I get started.

Well my experiment worked the Sculpey body is started I made a Styrofoam mold for the body wrapped it in aluminum foil and put the Sculpey on the mold. I still have to sand it and add the details like the trim and fire wall but it's a start.
I also have Rat Fink's head done here are some pictures.

You are my hero .... if I could even come close to sculpting like that I would quit my day job .. awesome work ...

I have an update, I'm using parts from a 1/18 scale die cast Deuce that I've had for a long time I have all of the parts ready except for the 1/10 scale engine I still have to get at from my LHS. The figures are all finished except for Rat Fink's hands and some sanding and painting. I'm using the frame, front end, interior, wind shield and front wheels from the die cast. I may use the radiator cowl and head lights too. I made some big slicks out of Sculpey and I'm working on the body now. I'll post some more pics tomorrow.

Very Kool!

I finally got the engine in the Fink's Deuce I have run out of Sculpey so I have to get some before I can finish Rat Fink and start painting the car body and figures. I had to stretch the frame to get the motor to fit but it looks pretty good in there. I will post some pictures tomorrow.

Wowserz! That's coming out awesome! If you lean the tops of the front tires to the right hard, you'd get the look the painting depicts nicely, (Allbeit unnaturaly, granted) when viewed from that angle anyway, I think.

Very kool!!

[Bigdad]

Here are the pictures I promised the other day the car is about done I still have to get more Sculpey to finish the figures.

Now there's some tallent!!! That is freeking awesome.....

[Bigdad]

Thanks guys, I just finished sculpting the figures and started painting them today. I had to redo Rat Fink's ears because they started drooping the last time I baked him. The three figures should be done by the weekend, then I'll get started on the base, the fire coming from the headers and the tire smoke. I'll post more pictures when the figures are painted.
